ZOGBY SATURDAY: Republican John McCain has pulled back within the margin of error... The three-day average holds steady, but McCain outpolled Obama 48% to 47% in Friday, one day, polling. He is beginning to cut into Obama's lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters. Joe the Plumber may get his license after all...

Polled on my cell phone by WSJ. They weren’t interested after learning that I had a landline. It was a cell only poll.

Then, later, surveyed at home by (I think) NBC on the landline. I generally expressed my horror at the concept of uhbama’s election, and the survey girl was laughing, saying that she had heard many times the same sentiments.

Not that it matters, but I’ve never been called once before in my life. And today twice. And I live in Chicago in Rahm Emmanuel’s district, turbin and uhbama are my senators, hardly a battleground.

I'm not giving you a hard time, I'm just saying that once one figures out the dynamic of the board, it's reasonably simple not to miss a thing.

Before the whole There's-an-Election-around-the-corner-so-I-must-post-every-thought-I-have-as-a-vanity thing started, I could run though 24 hours worth of threads in about 30 minutes. What I do is make a note of the headline of a thread where I want to respond and come back to it after the "scan." Once I've responded the comment is "logged" in My Replies.

As another freeper pointed out, the one day polls such as the one that Zogby had yesterday, are probably more valid than the 3 day average polls at this late hour. Wed. polls in many ways are already outdated and irrelevant.
